Abbreviation: ã|\afnã%
Parameters: ã|textã%
ã|Description:ã%
The \autofootnote markup adds footnotes to a page. The footnote can be
placed anywhere within text, without interrupting formatting. When the
document is formatted, the place of the footnote is marked with a number.
The text of the note is put at the bottom of the page. The footnote number
will be automatically incremented by one for each use of \autofootnote.
ã|Example:ã%
communicate most important things --- hunger, alarm,
rank, and sexual desire --- among themselves by
means of nonsyntactical signals.\autofootnote{such
as crashing together} Individuals are aware of
members and nonmembers of their group.

| |
| communicate most important things --- hunger, alarm, rank, and sexual |
| desire --- among themselves by means of nonsyntactical signals.(1) |
| Individuals are aware of members and nonmembers of their group. |
| |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
The footnote would print as follows at the bottom of the page:
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 1. such as crashing together |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
ã|Notes:ã%
The text of the note must be enclosed with curly braces, otherwise following
text will be taken as footnote text, until all available space for footnotes
is exhausted.
You cannot use \autofootnote within \settabs, \vbox, \hbox,
\drawbox, \paragraphbox, \label, \part, \chapter, \centerline, \halign,
\rightlinesbegin, or \centerlinesbegin.
The footnote number is reset to 1 at the beginning of each part. To
reset the footnote number outside of a \part, use the \setfootnotenumber
markup.
To change the footnote style, use the \footnoteformat markup.
When using \monospace, the footnote in the text of the document is
surrounded by parenthesis, instead of superscripted. The previous \auto-
footnote sample output would print as:
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| communicate most important things --- hunger, alarm, rank, and sexual |
| desire --- among themselves by means of nonsyntactical signals.(1) |
| Individuals are aware of members and nonmembers of their group. |
